MICROFIBRE COLOUR CODING
Colour coding cleaning materials and tools ensures that these items are not used in multiple areas, therefore reducing the risk of cross contamination.
Make sure you are using the right coloured cloth or mop for the areas you are cleaning.
RED & PINK Used in bathrooms, washrooms, showers, toilets and basins.
YELLOW Used in infectious / isolation areas where the risk of cross contamination is greatest.
BLUE Used in general areas including wards, bedrooms, departments, offices and basins in public areas.
BLEACH RESISTANT WHITE Can be used when using bleach under instruction from your infection control manager.
GREEN Used in food preparation areas such as resident food service at ward level.
